The strike by teachers in the West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) in California has reached its fourth day, under conditions of intensifying pressure from the district, the Democrats and the union apparatus to shut it down.
Worse, Project 2025 wasn’t written by one guy, but by a large team of people (mainly the Heritage Foundation and a handful of related groups). This plan was generated by groups of idiots, by a coordinated conservative ‘think tank’.
Many of the problems you pointed out aren’t bugs to them, they’re features. Their goals are very misaligned from ours. If you see it through their lens – of accelerationistdominionism – many of those points aren’t problems, but methods to reshape society to serve their particular goals.
For example, they want all of public education to collapse so that all education can become evangelical church-based. Teachers shouldn’t need to be certified beyond a religious education. They’re already very fond of spinning up universities and giving people the flimsiest of PhDs. Look at the number of Christian authors with ‘Dr’ before their name, then see where they got their doctorate and what it’s in. They do not care about education, except that kids should be able to read the bible and learn extra things for common professions, like working with numbers. If all teachers are housewives with training in the bible and the 4Rs, they think that’s a good thing.
They want to put the lower classes in their place, and that includes religiously. This is pretty clearly a blueprint for a christofascist utopia.

Our one saving grace is the people trying to make this happen aren’t masterminds. Aren’t smart or educated/knowledgeable about even the bare basics of how the country nor people work.
They will fail.
But how much damage will they do before we are rid of them ?
